Match on Action is a good example of continuity editing, this is where something is captured in a scene by several different camera shots coming together to show one smooth movement. This is used to give the audience a clear understanding of what is happening.
Shot-Reverse Shot
This film technique is used to show one character looking at another character in the scene, and then the angle of the shot is changed to show the other character looking back towards the character that was first captured before the reverse shot was taken.
The 180 Degree Rule
This rule of continuity helps to orientate the viewer during a scene. It states that two characters in a scene should always have the same relationship to each other, being either left or right; this rule is even used when more than two people are used in a scene. If you don't follow this rule then the audience are disorientated. If the director of a film wants to cross the 180 degree line then they must do this clearly, so that the audience can spot this; to stop any confusion that may have occurred.
